For the background you need to change the opacity of the files located in this folder: \skins\fm-widgets\graphics\boxes\custom\match\background\ if you don't know how to edit the files then read this thread: https://community.sigames.com/topic/331581-fm15-guide-how-to-increase-transparency-of-screens/

For the titlebar you need to edit the 'match title bar' xml file found in the \panels\match\ folder for you skin at the top of the file locate this code:

red_replacement="primary" green_replacement="primary"

And replace the highlighted primary text to the colour you want to display.

Next you then need to change the text colours (as whilst they are currently white they will change with different comps so might be unreadable sometimes) to do this locate each place in the same file that has this code:

colour="secondary"

And change the highlighted secondary text to the colour you want to use.

If you don't know how to find the default files then read this:
